hi there I was wondering if any one knows how to to get GD library to be recognized when doing a installing web content management systems . I found a few web content managers that work within pfsense. but I always run into the same problem GD libraries with in pfsense are not found.. I had the same problem with sqlite but that was solved by doing some shell commands

a little hard to believe, must be someone who has an Idea how too.they are used all over with in the pfsense. just not within vhost environment.they being disabled for some reason like squlite and mysql was.

anyways I ended up using XE (http://www.xpressengine.org/) it seems to work the best within pfsense Vhost environment has lots of modules and addons that work fine , I especially like the forum building and mobile phone options

I would still like to get the GD libraries to work within Vhost. so as some picture manipulation can be done within the web content management system..

whether is terrible Idea or not should not make difference, it is my choice to make is it not?. Vhost option is provided and I am using the resource to provide a simple internal network platform for a small network private wisp for users to post feedback and for us to provide updates and current events.. if the CMS get more then 200 hits a day I would be surprised. if it such a bad idea why include Vhost in the first place if there are concerned about system hacks

now the computer I am using as router is over kill. psfense just does not even make a blip on it. and I am just trying to use my resources to the to my advantages. now fine I could install a second computer as webserver but why pay the extra expense. okay fine I could build VMserver and install pfsense within it and a websever within that fine I just added a massive amount of complexity for what. I might as well not even use pfsense as my routing software then just use a linux box of some form because the performance will be a lot better then running pfsense within a virtual environment and a heck of a lot less complexity

I like Pfsense for its fast easy deployment and if I can add in the quick easy deployment of CMS to it for local wisp clients then all the better for me.. it might not be good for you or the other guy but it would suit my needs just fine..

Indeed it's completely your choice. As long as you're aware that it isn't recommended and the reasons why not. Since it's only for internal use you are minimising the risk anyway.The vhosts package was only there for the asterisk package (which is no longer functional I believe).

It's a long time since I tried the vhosts package. At the time I was doing something to you, hosting a web page that was used as a noticeboard/collection of hyperlinks. However I was never able to get it correctly functioning, as I recall it would work fine if called via https but not http.

I'm sure there would be quite a lot of interest if you get this working and did a write up. I'd try it!

after it restarteduse filezilla to log in with sftpuser name is not admin but root ( password is what ever your password is) go too usr/local/vhost/up load CMS into your host directory
